Status report
The Oilers did not hold a morning skate following a 4-3 loss to the Dallas Stars on Wednesday. … Skinner is not on the trip; the goalie left at 6:34 of the third period Wednesday after he was inadvertently hit in the head when Stars forward Mikko Rantanen cut in front of the net; Rodrigue was recalled on an emergency basis from Bakersfield of the American Hockey League on Thursday and will back up Pickard. … With the recall of Rodrigue, Derek Ryan, a center, was loaned to Bakersfield, leaving Edmonton with 11 healthy forwards. ... Emberson is expected to dress as a seventh defenseman after being a healthy scratch Wednesday. … Stephenson, a center, skated in a regular jersey Thursday for the first time since leaving a 4-0 loss at the Minnesota Wild on March 19 with an upper-body injury; he is not expected to play.
